About this Event:

This is a Hunter Education Field Day only. There is no fee for this class.

Students must bring their printed online hunter safety voucher from the completed online course. This class will run rain or shine, so please check the weather and dress appropriately. Students 10 and under will need a parent or guardian present during the class. Each student will need to bring their own mask (if desired), pencil and a snack as lunch will not be provided.

A parent or guardian is welcome to stay with their student during the class. Please do not register the parent or guardian for the class as this only eliminates the spot for other students. If the parent or guardian wishes to go through and receive credit for Hunter Education, feel free to sign up.

About the Program

Overview:

The main purpose of the hunter education field day course is to provide an alternative to the traditional course. This course is the same as the traditional hunter education course; however, the classroom portion is completed by either, online training or as a take home study format. 
In order to purchase a hunting license in Michigan, an individual born on or after January 1, 1960, is required to successfully complete an approved hunter education course. There are two different formats for successfully completing the field day course. Students must take either, the online course or the take home study, then complete the field day in order to earn a hunter safety certificate. Students choosing the online course followed by the field day must present a copy of their certificate of completion (voucher) of the online course at the start of the field day. The online course is fee based and can be taken at https://www.hunter-ed.com/michigan/. The second format is take home study. Students register for the field day and pick up the student manual, a minimum of one week prior to the field day. Take home study students must complete the chapter review questions and present them at the start of the field day. Michigan’s hunter education course is taught by a dedicated core of certified volunteer instructors and Michigan conservation officers.
